Bear Valley to Meadow to Old Pine, Baldy, or the Coast

Olema, California

Climb shaded paths through a lush forest from Bear Valley to reach Inverness Ridge, travel the ridgeline beneath towering Douglas-firs with views of the coastline, and return along the creekside Bear Valley Trail. To turn this exceptional hike into a full-day excursion through varied terrain and vegetation, you can continue on the Sky Trail along the ridge, take in fantastic views as you descend to the coast, visit Arch Rock, and then stroll back to the trailhead on the Bear Valley Trail. After you climb the ridge, the route is level or descending for the rest of the hike.
Horseback Riding allowed except on weekends and holidays on the Bear Valley, Meadow, and Old Pine trails.
